Description
Nightmare City, AKA, City of the Walking Dead is an Umberto Lenzi sleaze-fest with a great soundtrack and some very gory kills.
In this 1980 outbreak movie, a TV reporter (played by Tarantino fave Hugo Stiglitz) investigates what's turning townsfolk into hideous creatures. Turns out it's radioactive materials from a nearby reactor.
Soon, the city is overcome by irradiated ghouls.
Few films combine utter zaniness with such inventive and disgusting gore.
Some critics have likened this to a "zombie action film" as the undead here run like sprinters, wield axes, knives and guns, and can even be convinced to board a plane to create havoc in other time zones.
Tom Savini is in the process of remaking this one. Wonder if he'll retain the loopy ending of the original.
